gta has not been good since san andreas, this isn't going to change with the next one.
You should be arguing games are too much in CA and not that US should get hit too.The rest of the world has been paying $100 for video games for like a decade now. I’m Canadian, I paid 100 bucks for freaking Alan wake 2, Spider-Man 2 and FF16. I can’t wait for you cheap ass Americans to have to do the same
Yes, I know the dollar, if yall pay 100 well pay 150, I get it. But I wanna see the reactions.
A game like GTA6 is easily worth 150 for me
Does Baldurs Gate 3 have microtransactions?No DLC, microtransactions, and GTA+ in 1991.
These games are basically drug dealers by now, they get you in the door with a low price and then funnel you into spending as much as possible.
I think, in a thread based on a quote from the guy who runs the company that makes GTA, it is appropriate to discuss GTA.Does Baldurs Gate 3 have microtransactions?
I’m not saying they’re too cheap. I’m saying the value they provide for their price is excellent. Especially compared to other forms of media.You should be arguing games are too much in CA and not that US should get hit too.
Game market is much larger, MTC and special editions are everywhere so the comparison to older game prices is preposterous.
And cartridge prices are a completely different animal as they actually contained hardware required for working which you can’t just “download “.
Hell, now days Digital is much higher percentage which generates higher profits vs physical distribution and even for the latter there is no manual or anything else with the disk.
So knock off with “games are too cheap” argument, it’s not a very good one.
yeah....and how much good AAA movie is making this days ? BILLIONSAgreed. They cost $40 in 1991. That's $90+ today. Oh and per hour? Movies in the cinema cost $6ish. Baldurs Gate 3? 53 cents.
He’s right about the price to a certain extent.
I think you’re on the right track, but they are definitely not charging more for multiplayer. That’s their cash cow.THERE IT IS.
I'm gonna call this right now:
In other words, be ready for a retail price on GTA 6 of a minimum $100 for the "basic" version. If you want the multiplayer or other awesome features, you'll have to then spring $150 mid tier and $200 for the "gold edition".
And guess what, it will still sell out. The curse of GTA 6 will be that it will raise retail game prices even *further* because of the excuse of "higher development costs" and "value to dollar" experiences.
Buckle up. This is gonna be good.
People quadruple-dipped GTA V and tripled-dipped Red Dead Redemtpion 1 so, if there is any company who can pull off luxury priced games its Rockstar.They've been at the $60 price tag for a while. I think that's kinda the tipping point for most people. Especially in this day and age. There's always gonna be "special editions" that ask for more, but the general tag of $50-60. is where I'd bet the common consumer is about willing to go to. I know I certainly have more choice and less time than ever and if something "new" is coming out that is way overpriced...Well, I can wait.
If it’s $100usd, it’s like $150 cad after taxes. No one here is paying that for one game. Furthermore, it’d be stupid to increase the prices of game for 2k as doing so would raise the barrier of entry to their game. That in turn would reduce the total amount of people that could purchase micro transactions. Anyway, since I don’t expect the new gta to be good, I’m not too concerned.I think you’re on the right track, but they are definitely not charging more for multiplayer. That’s their cash cow.
My guess is $99 for the standard edition and $119 for a week of early access.
Ah a sensible response to this fucking moron of a CEO. This guy earns a fucking shit load of money, so his view on actual reality is going to be severely distorted.Oh fuck you CEO, put that deep in your ass from one of your Ferrari parked in your multi-million brand new home.

There's literally no chance of that happening. I'm not a fan of greedy CEOs like him, but if you actually read what he said, you would know.THERE IT IS.

It has nothing to do with them making profits or not. The dude is just spitting facts about the industry and the fact that $70 is cheap for a game is very true. Why get big mad when truth is being spoken? lol. Have you ever worked in game development before or been on the other side of the fence? If not, then you have no right to speak on this topic, let alone complain about something you have no idea about.these fuckers break record profits YoY and have the nerve to spew this shit.
fuck them.
I mean, if you already know you're making the most idiotic point of all time, why go through with it? Obviously people don't harp about any one number like 70 or 100 regardless of currency discussed since 70 yen is 0,50 USD for one example and are just talking about the standard value and cost.The rest of the world has been paying $100 for video games for like a decade now. I’m Canadian, I paid 100 bucks for freaking Alan wake 2, Spider-Man 2 and FF16. I can’t wait for you cheap ass Americans to have to do the same
Yeah I see that, developer From software sold 25 million copy's of Elden Ring in 1 year, 25mil * 70=1.750 billion $ with budget for the game around 200 million $.Steel Battalion was an AWESOME game because they sold it for $200.
Some of you don't realize how the $70 ceiling is limiting what type of games can be made.
They think we're actual cows. I liked it better when the industry was lead by actual creators and technical visionaries at the top. Not money hungry, opportunistic shits like Zelnick and his industry colleagues.Ah a sensible response to this fucking moron of a CEO. This guy earns a fucking shit load of money, so his view on actual reality is going to be severely distorted.

How much profit is that?
You have money to make next 9 games for free only from making 1 game .
Maybe he is, but why say it when it'll never be a good idea to price consumers out of a market? Anyone who tries to sell a game for $200 is going to be bitch-slapped by the reality of very poor sales. It's just antagonistic bullshit talk.Many gamers don't like to hear this but he's right. Of course it depends on the game also. If you buy an $80 game and you only play it for 1 hour because it's a piece of crap, then it's absolutely not worth it.
